Paneling - Panel

A wall made of overlapping boards for the purpose of protecting the wall surface and creating a decorative design is called a hame (siding), and the boards that are laid are called hameita (siding boards). Boards that are about 1 meter above the floor are called wainscoting, and those that are higher are called takahames.

There are two types of laying: flat board laying and mirror board laying. The former refers to vertical boarding, where boards are nailed vertically to the furring strips that run across the studs, with a capping board at the top and a baseboard at the bottom, while the latter refers to horizontal boarding, where boards are laid directly on the studs in a row. In the latter case, in addition to the capping board and baseboard, vertical and horizontal battens, upper and lower stiles, and mirror boards are used. The laying method that creates a flat finish without steps on the surface is called board siding.

壁面の保護と意匠装飾を目的として板を羽重ねに張った壁を羽目(はめ)といい、張られる板を羽目板という。床面より1メートル程度の羽目を腰羽目、それ以上のものを高羽目とよぶ。

　張り方には平板張りと鏡板張りがある。前者は、間柱(まばしら)に渡した胴縁に竪(たて)に打ち付け、その上端に笠木(かさぎ)、下端には幅木(はばき)を当てがった竪羽目と、間柱に直接板を横に並べて張る横羽目をさす。後者の場合は、笠木と幅木のほかに、縦横の桟と上下のかまちと鏡板が用いられる。なお、表面に段がつかぬよう平坦(へいたん)に仕上げる張り方を板羽目(いたばめ)という。
